    He's one of those guys like Rolo that I cheer for wherever they played...also one of my favorite Blazers.

    Next season will be Batum's 16th in the NBA. Kind of hard to believe.

    according to BBREF, at the end of next season, Batum will have earned 198.5M in those 16 seasons. Nice work if you can get it

    Can’t wait. I’m sure it will have a great affect/effect on me.

    I'd think his signature would reduce the value...

    And, more importantly, where is Mrs. HCP staying while you’re at the book signing?

    by the time Dame's 63M salary rolls around in 2026, in might not even be in the top-20

    Cost of doing business as a percentage of gross sales/income?
    Vulcans are driven by this consideration Im sure.
    To go young with talent with a lower cost factor, and still create Fandom and ticket sales, is total business since.

    By the time Dame turns 36 in 2026, he likely won't even be a top-40 player in the league, so he definitely wouldn't be worthy of a top-20 salary.

    Dame at 54M/year ending when he's 36; or Siakam at 62M year ending when he's 35?

    by the way, Curry is 35...is his game going to collapse next season?

    Curry is on a different level than Dame is, and always has been. Not really interested in comparing the two.

    Don't look at Dame making $63M at age 36 and compare is to Player X making $Y at age Z

    Look at Dame making ~$53M/yr for 4 years at age 33, 34, 35, 36

    vs Siakam making $62M/yr for 5 years at age 30, 31, 32, 33, 34
